User talk:Sanaagian

Welcome!

Hello, , I am ZappaZ, and it is my pleasure to welcome you to Wikipedia.

Editing articles in Wikipedia can be a very rewarding experience. Just become acquainted with some basic information on what Wikipedia is, and how the community works. You can start by reading The five pillars of Wikipedia, to orient yourself.

I hope you like the place and decide to stay and contribute to build the best encyclopedia ever, here are a few good links for you:
 * How to edit a page
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

(By the way, please be sure to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (&#126;&#126;&#126;) for just your name.)

If you have any questions, you can post to the help desk or ask me on my talk page. I will be happy to assist you.

Again, welcome! --ZappaZ 00:24, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:KingOsman.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:KingOsman.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Stan 16:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:SayidM.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:SayidM.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 00:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Sayid.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Sayid.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.

Please don't upload faked images. Most Wikipedia editors can quite easily tell that the picture had been altered from the original. Doing things like that will just lead to your being blocked. Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Puntland
Go read copyrights, you copied that last edit from here and now of course you have let me know that 146.244.137.172 is your IP. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:11, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Ambassador Mohammed Garad, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Realkyhick 08:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

My last two pictures.
I don't see why these two pictures were deleted. I understand I have made some errors in the past due to my lack of familiarity with copyright rules, but the last two images I have added were copyrighted and I provided an ample detail that substantiate their sources.

It seems you are following the principle of conservatism that someone's background should always be looked to judge his or her activities. To me, Wikipedia is a learning process and I do appreciate that I continue contributing to the website. Why were the two images removed from Northern Somali Sultanates?

Badhan and Dhahar
Are two major cities with more than 100,000 of its population.

I cannot accept that the die hard secessionist putting it at class C in the Sanaag topic. This is unacceptable. I can even post both aerial survey and pictures of these towns. Besides, the last census of 2004 by U.N puts these two cities above the other cities.

Fair use rationale for Image:Cal2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Cal2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Fair use and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Gyrofrog (talk) 17:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Modern Political Movements in Somaliland
That book is from the 1950s and while the CIA data may not be correct it's a lot more up to date than a 50 year old book. Also the Image:Iririo1.JPG is, I don't think, correctly licenced. It's a scan from the book and so there is no way you created it. I will check that out. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Iririo1.JPG listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Iririo1.JPG, has been listed at.

Duplicate images uploaded
Thanks for uploading Image:SomaliComposition.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Clan composition.JPG. The copy called Image:Clan composition.JPG has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot 00:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Maakhir Map
To the self-stled expert of Somali clan distribution,

Your tactics of rule and divide will never work. The Sanaag region in whole is a Warsangeli land, so please refrain from shrinking our territory. You have no knowledge what you want to draw as a map.

Please stop imposing your Fuking Map on us. I created this INFO AND I DON'T WANT YOUR MAP.

-Sanaagian Maakhir/Sanaag

June 2008
Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Maakhir has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. —Animum (talk) 02:48, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Sultan Mohamoud.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Sultan Mohamoud.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation.  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 21:57, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Sultan4.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Sultan4.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:28, 6 July 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7.

Proposed deletion of File:Ground troops of Warsangeli Sultanate.jpg


The file File:Ground troops of Warsangeli Sultanate.jpg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Contrary to usage of file in Wikipedia articles as well as description provided, photograph has no link to Warsangali Sultanate. The army shown in the photograph is part of the Somaliland tribal levies fighting against supporters of the Mad Mullah. For further information please see Mad Mullah of Somaliland by Douglas Jardine where it was published in page 61."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
